An important text which explains so
well enthusiasm (en theos, God in
us).
"Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in
the world, it beats money and power
and influence. Single-handed the
enthusiast convinces and dominates
where the wealth accumulated by a
small army would scarcely raise a
tremor of interest.
Enthusiasm tramples over prejudice
and opposition, spurns inaction,
storms the citadel of its object,
and like an avalanche overwhelms and
engulfs all obstacles.
It is nothing more or less than
faith in action.
Faith and initiative rightly
combined remove mountainous barriers
and achieve the unheard of and the
miraculous.
Set the germ of enthusiasm afloat in
your home, in your plant, in your
office, or in your farm; carry it in
your attitude and manner; it spreads
like contagion and influences every
fiber of your industry before you
realize it; it means increase in
production and decrease in costs; it
means joy, and pleasure, and
satisfaction to your workers; it
means life, real, vital; it means
spontaneous bedrock results - the
vital things that pay dividends."
Enthusiasm comes from the idea "to
be inspired or possessed by God."
It is defined as "inspiration by a
divine or superhuman power."
When you get enthusiastic about your
life, when you look at yourself and
get excited about what you see,
spiritual power is unleashed in your
life and you are lifted and
transformed.
"Well", you say, "But I don't like
what I see".
Excellent. Now is your opportunity
to choose to see yourself in a new
and different way. Now is the time
to grab the "but" by its
meaninglessness and do a different
thing.
It's about unleashing your
indwelling divinity to accomplish
your heart's desire. I behold the
Christ in you and see it active in
every area of your worthy life and I
invite you to do the same." ~ Henry
Chester. I fully agree with this
great statement.
I try to change enthusiastically
what I do not like to see. I work
with enthusiasm for the
establishment of peace and paradise
on Earth, even if it seems
impossible. At least enthusiasm gets
me closer to it.
Please dear reader, work with
enthusiasm for good causes. You will
be astonished. Miracles will happen
and untold happiness will be yours.
